I thought I had better introduce myself.

I was recomended this site from Fuji - Not sure if it was a good thing as I seem to spend a lot of time browsing it!!!

I have 2 primary school children and we have always loved camping, and toyed with the idea of a camper trailer in the past.

Our fate was sealed last Grand Final weekend when camping with friends.   We were all huddled aroundalternating between the fire and a tarp depending on the level of rain.  A camper trailer turned up and before we could decide if it was safe to go out to the fire again it was set up and they were sitting around and relaxing.

Lots of searching and we finally settled on our brand new Aussie Jays "The Crusher" our first CT and towing it with a Ford Ranger.



Anzac weekend will be our first test run.  A few days at Warburton (Caravan Park)

After that just a few mods, LED lights, battery etc etc etc ...................

Warburton was great. 15 minutes to unload and set up ground sheets. Another fifteen and main tent was up. The next hour or so to set up annex and decide on table locations etc. all done on my own before wife came from work. Should be able to do it in a fraction next time.

Got home took out clothes and food and left all the rest in it - great. Should have got one sooner
